Disk Defragmenter

How I can schedule a Disk Defragmenter?

You can schedule defrag.exe or similar utility. Depending on your Windows version name of the command may different

On XP, 98, Me, 95 it is "defrag.exe"
On W2K (also supported on XP) it is "mmc dfrg.msc" or whatever the saved console name is.

For example, you could schedule the following command:

c:\windows\defrag.exe c: /noprompt /q

For more info on supported command line options run
"help defrag" or "defrag /?"

On some systems the defragger is not installed by default, you may need to add it from the Windows setup files.
